A tiny fox shrine behind what looks like an old well. It is located near the east end of Ozaki Hondoori (尾崎本通り "Tail Cape Main Road"), and I think it actually might have a name written on the glass-encased super-tiny inner sanctuary, but unfortunately I can't make it out on my photo. Anyway, a total of 23 tiny porcelain foxes are crammed together in this tiny shrine, and the super-tiny glass-encased inner sanctuary contains another two super tiny foxes, which might be made of stone or metal. This is the only time I've seen one of those super-tiny inner sanctuaries.
